--- Comment #5 from Takashi Iwai
I am not a kernel developer and so I'm not sure how to build r592.c with the patch, however, I would be happy to test it if somebody else would build it for me. Alternatively, if its simple to do, then please provide some instructions and I will attempt to build it.
Yes, you should learn how to build a kernel and a patched module. There are a few good ways. I'll give some brief instructions later.
Also, the following is from a post at:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/494706-openSUSE-13-1-KDE-inconsis...
Quoting Romanator: "The most recent openSUSE kernel (3.11.10-21-desktop) Makefile for the r592.c from Maxim Levitsky is from 2010. His final patch wasn't submitted until Jan. 8, 2011. <snip> Ask the openSUSE kernel devs to look at and backport patch #5b945a6 from this link: https://gitorious.org/ricoh-kernel/ricoh-kernel.git ".
So, it doesn't look like the OpenSUSE kernel has the most recent r592 driver...
You're testing 3.15 and 3.16, so the above statement doesn't fit at all.
Also, there is a good bit of recent activity by the r592 developer, Maxim Levitsky, on this exact same bug at Red Hat's Bugzilla site here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119361
The bottom line is that someone needs to make sure that OpenSUSE is using the most recent version of r592.c.
No, r592 developer has to submit the fix to the upstream at first. This is the golden rule. In general, we take *only* the upstream fix (or the patch that is promised to upstream) to openSUSE kernels. If there is a problem of upstreaming, put me in Cc in chain, so that I can assist for it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
